From landlords to salesmen Dealing with contract problems
Consumers should read and understand any contract before signing. Contracts bind both parties, and breaches can incur penalties, including loss of deposits or forfeiture of goods. Leases count as contracts, and terms become legally binding once signed. Consider negotiating changes before signing to avoid future disputes.

Lease promises bind tenants and landowners alike
Consumer watch explains that a lease fixed for 12 months binds both sides to the full term. If tenants leave early, they may owe remaining rent, and attempting to apply the security deposit without consent could forfeit it and still owe three months’ rent. Written notices, modifications, and avoiding blank contracts are stressed. For info contact CAA Kansas Union. Irene S. Reynolds comments.
